SUMMERS STRENGTH,
rhe Remarkable Physical Powers of tho
Famous Senator.

| Famous senator.
Mr.. Sumner stood six feet two inch
high without his shoes. and he was Sc
well built that his height was only no.
ticeable when he was near a person oil
ordinary size. But there was a man.
ner about him, free swing of the arm,
Il stride, pose of his shaggy head, a
sway Of his broad shoulders that gave
| to those who knew him best the idea
that he was of heroic size. Then, too,
there was something in the intent look
of his dcep-set eye, his corrugated
brow, the frown born of intense
thought, and his large head, made to
seem yet larger by its crown of thick
heavy. longish gray hair, all of which
gave the idea of physical greatness;
but with his frequent smile the set
frown passed, his whole appearance
changed, aud his face beamed like a
dark lantern suddenly lighted. His
smile effected wonderful tran sforma-
ton in his whole appearance, and it
set up a peculiar sympathy between
himself and its recip snt.
For one of his sedentary habits. he
had extraordinary strength. and yet he
was not an athlete While in Wash
ington his only exercise was walking,
and as he believed it was the pace
rather than tie distance that tells,
when opportunity offered he would 90
ut a rate that amazed beholders. Some
persons attempting to join and keep up
with him only succeeded by taking an
occasional hop. skip and jump, such as
children practice when walking with
their parents. Up to the time of his in
juries he walked much in Washington,
for. as he said. he could outwalk
omnibuses. and give them long odds.
He was hardly aware of his enormous
strength, it was so seldom called into
exercise. His books were packed in
large boxes at the end of each session
and sent from his rooms to the Capitol,
only to be returned at the beginning of
the next session. These boxes weighed
nearly five hundred pounds each, and
were difficult to handle in passages and
slairways. and so were accompanie
by four men. Once when he was liy-
ing at Rev. DIR. Simpsons one of these
heavy boxes got stuck in the stairway.
1t could be eXtricated without damage
to the walls only by lifting it over the
banister The four men failed to apply
their strength to the most advantage.
for they got iii each Others way, and
thus failed to move The box. The Sen
ator. HATED and gloved, ready to 90
out, came down the stairs.
why don't you lift it over the railP'
said he.
GLOW can we?" answered one. you
have no idea of its weight y
Let me try said the Senator, and,
leaning over the rail, he seized the
rope beckett at the end of the box and
lifted the latter clear of its entangle-
ments by one sure pull, splitting his
glove, however, across the back The
men were amazed; and he. little
said Il didn't mean to
lift it, onl y to try its weight and then
went back for fresh gloves. CoSmopot- |

If there is any thing that disgusts the

ANECDOTES OF kRuPp
Some of the Strange PecuIiarities of the
Famous Gun Maker.


Famous Gun Maker.
The following stories of the late Herr
krupp are curious: at was a standinp
order to all those who surrounded ar
approached him that the word death
was never to be mentioned or referred
to in conversation within the precincts
OF his great establishment Some
years ago relative % his wife came TO
stay with him, and was taken suddenly
i'll and died. When Krupp heard of it
he fled Immediately to the neighboring
town of Dusseldorf, and would not re-
turn until after his relative had been
duly buried This very naturally led
to scene with his wife, the result
being that they separated. Mrs. Krupp
went to live at Dresden, and not even
the entreaties of their son prevailed on
Herr Krupp to see her before he died
The same stubbornness was shown by
him when his son Fritz, who contested
the parliamentary borough (Essen) at
the last general election in the interest
OF the Government. was defeated by
the Ultra or Clerical party Herr
krupp issued an edict that no employe
should take into his cottage or read the
local papers of the Ultramontane party.
A few days after this edict poor
workman being found wrapping up his
Bnfterbrod in a sheet OF the journal was
instantly dismissed. ~ J. Post

Geo. Gray has given Jas. luton the
job of cribbing five thousand bushels
of corn for him this fall.
John Depew a former Grayite, now
of Mitchellville, came in last week, and
shelled out his corn which was stored
at this place. John says things are very
dry in his part of Iowa-Skunk river

before. He returned to his home ON
Thursday.
The ladies Aid Society met with Mrs.
WI. Audas on Thursday of last week
Henry Sprague stopped in Gray last
Saturday to chat awhile with friends
He is professional ditcher this season
The blizzard is making a queer
sort of fight on the republican
candidate for Auditor. We believe
however, that Mr.. Stowell is amply able
to cope with the war of wind" which
is being waged against him.
Mr.. G. ii. Jones, republican candidate
for treasurer, was insGray on Wednes
day of last week. His business, how,
ever, was other than political.
Rev. Throckmorton will make his
home at Templeton for the present, but
the probabilities are that he will in few
months make this place his home.
Mrs. Walkup, of Audubon, visited
with her daughter, Mrs. Sam Fisher
last Thursday. She was accompanied
by Mesdames Cross, Freeman and
Kennedy.

chilliness of the weather. He looks
forward to his duties as such this win

and qualification.
Joseph Newell, farmer living sever
miles west of Gray is lying very low
with consumption, his demise being
daily expected. Mr.. Frazey is assisting
in caring for him.
Will Lebeck was called to Walnu
Sunday morning by a message announc
ing the death of a young child of hi
brother, Chas. Lebeck. Mrs. Lebecl

Farmers who have begun huskin;

was in Gray last week, looking over tn

summation of the fusion plan that has

The statement is wholly without au,
thority, as the editor does not know the
inclinations of Mr.. Walker, the candi
date, in this respect. The statement
was made for the purpose of manu- fac
turing capital among the greenbacl

ocrats are striving never so hard tt
draw into their net. Mr.. Walker is ;
man of conservative and candid opin
ions, and will conscientiously cast tn,
vote of Audubon county when the houl
arrives for the election of a United
States Senator, but we are unable t,
state his preference in the matter, an,
would suggest that all utterances by TIL
democrats are without authority.
There are great many republican
who have spoken fayorably of the cleo
ton of Judge Reed TO the senate, anc
among veterans the opinion is especial,
cutspoken. a correspondent to tn
Register, whom we do not know, ex
